James Toney - Is an American former professional boxer who competed from 1988 to 2017. He held multiple world championships in three weight classes, including the IBF and lineal Middleweight titles from 1991 to 1993, the IBF Super-Middleweight title from 1993 to 1994, and the IBF Cruiserweight title in 2003. Toney also challenged twice for a world Heavyweight title in 2005 and 2006. Stylistically a defensive boxer, Toney utilized the shoulder roll technique taught to him by veteran trainer Bill Miller, who had once trained heavyweight champion Ezzard Charles. Toney was an exceptional counterpuncher and inside fighter, who often preferred to fight off the ropes. He possessed fast hand speed and respectable punching power throughout his career and is also noted for his toughness, having never lost any of his 92 professional bouts via stoppage.

One of the most skilled and talented fighters of all time! James Toney's career up at Heavyweight was certainly an interesting spectacle because he was the naturally smaller man against every opponent he faced. His superior speed and overall skill set (in particular his sublime defense and counter punching) negated the bigger but slower fighters. Toney's performances against Evander Holyfield and John Ruiz were among his most impressive and one sided, they also showcased his fantastic reflexes and shoulder roll technique. Lights Out past his prime but still great! www.patreon.com/haNZAgod
He was simply mesmerizing even past his prime and brought a real danger in there so opponents couldn't take him lightly. I wish he had more discipline when it came to training and eating. He probably would have went down as one of the top five greatest of all time.
Fantastic vid. I remember thinking Samuel Peter would kill Toney, but JT had these guys beat before they ever stepped in the ring. Really incredible - especially that gut-wrenching Holyfield beat.
Toney took some big clubbing shots from Peter too, some round the back of the head. He had an incredible chin considering he was basically a natural Middleweight / Super-Middleweight.
I got up and shadowed boxed with this video. Good video.
James is one of the most underrated rated “boxers” of all time. He had real boxing skills. The fights with Mike McCallum were like great chess matches. The show he put on against Iran Barkley was just an amazing example of his defense and offensive skills. I feel he got overlooked a lot because he wasn’t the easiest guy to work with and it was the flashy Roy Jones era. Toney in my opinion was a better boxer than Roy. Roy was an elite athlete with unbelievable reflex’s and power but you’ll never tell a kid to watch Roy and “work on that”, lol. Toney missed out on a lot of fights at middleweight and super middleweight because of politics unfortunately. You really can’t find many, if any, boxers that can match Toney in skill, toughness and the man loved to fight. He would literally fight anyone. Very glad I got to see him in his prime and follow his career.
James toney piecing up heavyweight contenders at 5'9 while weighing 220 lbs of solid burger king grease will always be a legendary boxing feat.
"Burger King Grease"😂lmao
I'll never forget the Ruiz fight and Roy Jones going through the counter right hand highlights late in the fight...."Counter right hand there, here he slips, shoulder roll with a counter right hand right there, here's another one, step back ....counter right hand right there" LOL all night
Hallelujah brother!
Ruiz,Rahman,Evander and Peters all held words titles. These aren't just contenders. These are ex or current world champions. (His win over Ruiz was overturned due to a failed drug trust so Ruiz kept the WBA title).
James Toney, an overweight middleweight slapping heavyweights around like it's nothing. Legend
The most naturally gifted fighter I have ever seen with Roy
Insane that these middleweights can go all the way up to heavyweight and be winning
Toney wasn’t as naturally gifted as Ali, Bowe, Lennox, Fury, Douglas, Lomachenko, Hearns, Zab, Del La Hoya or Terry Norris
Why do you believe that?@brocksimmons345
@@brocksimmons345loma? Zab?? Hoya? Lmao ok
Fury 😂@@brocksimmons345
@@brocksimmons345Douglas? Buster Douglas? Lol😅
So crazy that you can divide this man's career up into weight classes. I wish he and Roy Jones hadn't gone on for so long! They would be in the top five greatest of all time quite possibly.
Possible. When it comes to warriors, you have to beat them out of the ring.
Cruiserweight and early heavyweight James Toney was my favorite James Toney to watch
His fight with Jirov was insane. That final round push was legit movie worthy.
@@unforgettabletimes6636 yeah, my favorite fight of all fights to this day
The real 🐐 of boxing.
No one can knock his skills, he's always dangerous
A master in his craft.
James going into the ring should have three guys asist, to carry his huge balls behind him. What a great fighter. Not just the great boxer. The great fighter.
lights out baby
One of my favorites of all time. Tough fighter
You got that right.
Great vid!! What's crazy is that he used to occasionally catch/parry and block punches at middleweight. At heavyweight he almost exclusively rolled slipped and ducked punches keeping his right hand up only for the hooks he couldn't quite get under. It was as if his opponents were punching in slow motion.
My fav fighter
HANZAGOD ‼️‼️ the best highlight channel of any sport on youtube💯 thank you for all the time and dedication you put into make these beautiful pugilistic content
Thanks bud glad you like it!
Best pound-for-pound fighter ever. Dominated the toughest opposition from middleweight to heavyweight.
James Toney is nothing short of a legend. Big respect to you sir.
Still remains to be my all time favorite fighter.
Man you putting The Grimey Boot Man to this video made this more epic!!!!
Fun fact: James Toney popped for P.E.D use against John Ruiz, and the decision was overturned to a NC.
Still my favorite fighter of all time.
James Toney, Greatest Fighter of All Time.
John Ruiz really haunted the 2000s heavyweight scene lol. Holyfield beat him but was robbed, Roy Jones beat him, but moved back down, Toney beat him but got caught, Golata arguably beat him but did not get the nod. Along with sometimes actually winning he was just around forever.
Everyone is on stuff. Ppl can cry all they want. Don’t be naive.
Corruption at the highest level. Don King made that happen. Read more about it. Toney wasn't on drugs. Especially steroids! Look at him!
@@32gigs96 true, most are on something, whether it's a steroid or some kind of fat burner.
I remember when Guillermo Jones got his slug fest victory against lebedev overturned due to a fat burner.
@@32gigs96innocent until proven guilty. To me it just sounds like you're making an excuse for a fighter you like
Tony gets an auto like. I don't even need to watch this to know its dope af.
Favorite! The king of swag!
Sean Price... James Toney... Match made in heaven.
Lights Out was still having great defensive skills even though he was overweight and past his prime. Great job there.
HanzaGod, you are the total package. I learn about little known fighters here, see their best skills and get great music. Your other James Toney clips are my overall favourites here! And the Hitman Hearns one flashes in my mind when working out or doing something challenging. It is so inspirational. Thanks for the good work!
Thanks bud I appreciate it! Glad you enjoy
Best defense in heavyweights. Not the best fighter just best defense. Great style to watch.
Lights out baby 🔥
James Tony was a brawla 👊🏼
Sean Price what!
That’s movement perfectly sound
My favorite fighter!
A true boxer & fighter who has become under appreciated amongst todays fans.
Impressive thing about this video is Toney is past his prime against much bigger men.
Holyfield, Rahman, Peter, Ruiz..that's a better resume than any current Heavyweight lol 🤣
Brilliant
Legend
Era of Titans!
Hanza you're a monster. One of my favorite boxers, on of my favorite songs. And you drop this video between me weighing in and fighting tonight. LfG goat
Best of luck to you man! Channel your inner James Toney haha.
Won my fight doing a fat james toney impression, thanks @@hanzagod
ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOXER
🥊Yes indeed, a very talented pugilist. He had the skills to pay the bills.👍👍
Lights out baby
I like his shoulder roll. Makes him hard to hit
Keep rollin rollin rollin rollin....
For such a big guy I don’t know how he was fast enough to move like that🤯
The biggest punch you can hit a fighter with is making him miss and in recent times, nobody did that better than James Toney. A very unheralded modern ATG. Almost in the ilk of Ezzard Charles.
One of a kind. Never again.
This mf had the drippiest of drips in boxing history
Тони топ
I got the artist Sean price booming from my boom box
lightweight toney & lightweight duran would be my dream match
It'd have to be the Middleweight version of Duran that fought Hagler because Toney's lightest weight class was 160 lbs.
Steve Collins went to watch James Toney training in the 90’s and he’d be training on the bags and sparring, in between rounds he’d have some coke and a Burger King and carry on training, crazy he shouldn’t be able to move like that!
Haha I love hearing Toney stories like that. He gave the best post fight interviews too.
Pretty sure this is the greatest Philly shell practitioner.
🐐🐐🐐
Sean Price?😮
Tyson versus Toney at Heavyweight would have been great even in 2004
Another ATG from Detroit. Fought Evander when RJJ didn’t want any part of that fight.
The mofo was a defensive genius. Up there with Ezzard Charles etc
It’s incredible that Tony a 5 foot 9 middleweight wasn’t even knocked out by any of these guys only Peter knocked him down the same guy that knocks 6 foot 6 Klitschko 3 times down. Could you make a reel on Mr Snipes too I feel as tho that he is overlooked by most.
For sure that'll definitely be one for the future.
Jones jr knocked him down but he was showboating at the time
@@simonlhill-si4sxyeah but I was talking about his run at Heavyweight I think he also got dropped by Reggie Johnson at 160
@@uncleiron64 ahh, ok mate I misunderstood
I got milk.
Floyd Patterson past his prime video????
Good idea definitely one for the future. Just to give you an idea of the next few videos in line they're going to be; a new Hamzah Sheeraz highlight, Masamori Tokuyama's footwork and overall boxing skills, Vasyl Lomachenko's body punching and Winky Wright's jab.
The Toney that fought Booker was the Best Heavyweight Boxer in the World lol
He was in great shape for that fight just like when he fought Holyfield. That version of Toney at Heavyweight was his best while at the division.
you shall probably make a highlights video of "the exocet" ellyas pical,not much footage i think but he's my nation's greats,after wongso suseno the first w-champ,while mr. wongso is an opbf,mr. ellyas is entire world's first indonesian champ
That's a cool request. I always thought Chris John was the best Indonesian boxer.
@@hanzagod ah...chris john,you may also want to see daud yordan,also good.
little fact:there was an indonesian boxer who loves marvin hagler,shaved his head bald and having hagler as his ringname,his name is yani hagler and he once fought for the ibf world title but fell off,my source is on wikipedia.
WBF WBC KFC Champion
Song?
Both tracks are in the description.
I wonder how he would have done against the klitschkos
Or against bernard hopkins.
Maybe even a roy jones rematch.
I think Toney would lose on points because they would probably just box him from the outside and avoid giving Toney chances to counter. Though maybe Wlad pre-Kronk might burn himself out trying to knock out James.
'What do you think about Vitali Klitschko?'
'BITCH'
Hahaha Toney gave some of the greatest interviews.
@@hanzagod " I got milk baby, who's next!!!"
An out of shape toney put holyfield in his place 😂 seriously tho james toney is so slept on i personally would compare him to people like ali,frazier,foreman,and Tyson off just skill alone the man was untouchable with the philly shell.
Wow like a heavyweight Duran the way he rolls w/ punches. @haNZAgod content always on pizzoint
